Boy With Cancerous Tumor Gets Treatment And An Apology From Mother Who Abandoned Him

After years and years of suffering, Prosper’s father became desperate for his son and reached out to a charity for help.

A nun from the Liliane Foundation, a charity that specializes in treating disabled children from developing countries, put Prosper and his dad in contact with another charity in Italy that provides medical support for impoverished children.

After a video plea for help was received by A Voice For Padre Pio, the foundation flew him to Naples to get the diagnosis Prosper waited six painful years for.

Prosper began undergoing biopsies, scans, and other tests and was finally told he had Burkitt lymphoma, an incredibly rare form of cancer in which the disease attacks healthy cells that are working in the immune system.

In most cases, left untreated the tumor would be fatal.

But Prosper’s cancerous tumor, which is known to be the fastest growing tumor researched, grew shockingly slow, which prolonged his life.
